L-Arabinose CAS: 5328-37-0

Detailed Description

The sugar (arabinose) Arabia also called pectin sugar, sugar is often combined with other monosaccharides, exist in plants in the form of heteropoly sugar fruit pulp, colloid, hemicellulose, pectin acid, cypress trees heartwood, bacterial polysaccharide, and some sugar.Arabic sugar has eight isomers, such as beta-d-arabic sugar, beta-l-araby, etc.There are two main types of arab-sugar industrial products: d-arabin. which can be obtained by degrading d-glucose. which is rare in nature and mainly occurs in some bacterial polysaccharides.Natural l-arabin can be obtained by enzymatic is omerization of urea diphosphate derivatives by d-xylose. and also extracted from arabinose from corn husk hemicellulose. As people’s living standards rise, obesity and overweight have become an epidemic among adults and adolescents.

Applications of L-Arabinose

1. Food and health care products: diabetic food, diet food, health functional foods, sugar additives;
2. Drugs: weight loss and glycemic control as prescription and non-prescription drugs or medicine additives excipients;
3. Flavors and fragrances ideal synthesis intermediates;
4. As the drug synthesis intermediates.

Functions

1. Inhibit the metabolism and absorption of sucrose, L-arabinose is the most representative of the physiological effect of the selective influence of intestinal sucrase, thereby inhibiting the absorption of sucrose.
2. Control blood sugar, inhibiting lipogenesis, inhibit sucrose intake caused by hyperglycemia, obesity can be inhibited, preventing and treating of diseases associated with hyperglycemia.
3. Prevention of constipation, promote the growth of bifidobacteria, intake arabinose added 5% sucrose also can promote bifidobacteria (Bifidobacterium) growth.
4. Influence on skeletal muscle composition, L-arabinose has the effect of changes in skeletal muscle fiber composition, dominated by glycolysis to glucose oxidation to affect the growth of abdominal fat tissue, this change in the proportion of muscle fiber type 2 diabetes may improve the effect.
